    This is a very special jewelry store with hand-crafted artisan jewelry.
    Simply beautiful designs.
    I have received so many compliments on the earrings and matching necklace I bought and am very glad I made the purchase.

    So my best friend and I decided to wander in and see what they had. Well they had a lot that we really loved. The girl helping us was so knowledgeable about the artists and what was local and their inspirations. The variety of items they had was amazing. I loved the help of deciding which chains to go with which pendants and the lengths. My friend and I walked out with many amazing, beautiful and unique pieces. The prices were spot on. I have received many compliments for the jewelry I bought. Thanks for the amazing customer service as well as finding me beautiful jewelry to remember my trip by.

    The store caters to tourists and now we tourists are finally making our way back! Canada opened the border to Americans on August 9th (with a host of conditions and requirements); but those with hardy souls persevered.

    We appreciated being able to shop without being badgered by the sales staff and made our purchase in our own time, pressure-free.

    Not much has changed here since our 2019 visit and that works for us!

    Beautiful store. The staff, mainly Trasie was so friendly and kind. I have a terrible time finding shoes that are comfortable, she didn’t give up. I got the purple Parada and I love them soooo much. Then she helped my husband order me the sky high platform. Which I am absolutely giddy about.

    Discovered this place during a business conference. Ended up shopping here every time I'm in town. Tyrone and Selma are fabulous -- very helpful. Heads up: there is only one size for each shoe. (In other words there are no two size 38s for a specific pair.) So if you fall in love with something, get it.

    The shoes are amazing. Selection is definitely curated. Quality is superior. Can't get these designs just anywhere. So if yo are looking for unique footwear, this is the place.

    I wanted a quality gift for members of our Board of Directors and had five images printed, dry mounted, matted and framed at Kimprints. The qualify of work was EXCELLENT. They even have engravable plaques to place on the mat within the framed artwork for an elegant touch. The staff, particularly Kim, are FANTASTIC, efficient and speedy.

    My receipt gives an address of 57 Water Street (as does their website) so, it could be that there are two stores in the chain right next door to each other? Although it is in Gas Town, it won't be right by the gas clock but it won't be hard to find.

    Their selection is pretty extensive and I found the perfect souvenir (for myself) while searching their jewelry selections.

    This is a tourist shop and I expect that the maple syrup costs a bit more than it sells for in the grocery stores. But it looks good and is packaged nicely.

    As an unabashedly bonafide tourist, I am in my element here!

    We first found Bertacchi's while in Italy and were thrilled to find their sister shop while traveling in Vancouver! If you are a hat lover, you'll want to be sure and check out these handmade hats from Italy.

    They made a mistake and the wrong item…

    They made a mistake and the wrong item was sent to me. That is not my fault but Customer Service didn't respond for a few days and in and ask me to send the wrong item to them to be able to receive a refund. Had to go to the post office and waste the time I don't have with a newborn baby, because of their mistake.
    don't trust and buy from the store anymore. VERY DISAPPOINTED
